Thousands of athletes are set to descend upon Vail, Colorado, June 5–8 for the 2025 GoPro Mountain Games — the nation’s premier celebration of outdoor adventure sports, art, and music. But with registration prices increasing on May 28, athletes have just a few days left to secure lower pricing for what’s become much more than a world-class athletic competition.
In 2024, over 95,000 spectators filled Vail’s streets, trails, and riverbanks to cheer on athletes across dozens of unique events. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a passionate newcomer, here are some of the sweet perks that are waiting for you at this year’s event.
Top Perks of Being a GoPro Mountain Games Athlete
Prize Purse Power
With more than $140,000 in cash prizes on the line — plus a wealth of non-cash prizes and sponsor giveaways — competitors have plenty of reasons to push for the podium. Prize details are available for each sport at mountaingames.com.
Legendary Athlete Bags
The rumors are true: some athletes sign up just for the swag. Every participant receives a premium athlete bag filled with official gear, including a shirt, hat, socks, sponsor goodies, and more.
Exclusive Access to the Athlete Lounge
The Athlete Lounge at the base of Gondola One is the perfect place to recover and recharge. Enjoy drinks, snacks, sponsor samples, massage and recovery treatments, Vail IV & B12 shots, and more.
Camaraderie Like No Other
Where else can you find kayakers, SUPers, rafters, runners, cyclists, yogis, dogs, slackliners, and fly-fishermen all in one place? The Mountain Games unite a wildly diverse mix of athletes who bond over their love of the outdoors and mountain sports. Families, kids, weekend warriors, music lovers, pros, Joe’s, and Jane’s — everyone is welcome.
Bragging Rights & Summer Kickoff Vibes
